II am greatly obliged to you for sending so

will willingly give you my views on the subject,
though they may not be of special interest.
Since leaving Indianapolis, have been so close
ly occupied with work, outside OF geology and
chemistry, that have not been able to keep
step with the progress of scientific Investigations.
In the first place. in regard TO the geological
ages, recorded by the rocks OF Indiana, they are
easily read and clearly defined You know that
have always maintained that the rocks OF Indi-
ana, from the Lower Silurian age to the Car
boniierous epoch, lie conformable and undis-
turbed by cstaelysmic forces. such as have done
violence to the strata in other parts of the coun-
try. and that the socalled Cincinnati axis, or
CINCINNATI DOME Is missioner. The facts 10
prove my views on this clearly put forth in
several oil my geological reports, and have since
been admitted by Professor Orton in his geport
on the petroleum. and natural gas wells of Ohio;
that the dip of the strata. to the westward, is
SO gentle that its course cannot be determined at
any one spot by the clinometer, but is found by
observations made at distant stations The ST.
iurian rocks were laid down in comparatively
quiet waters, that were teeming with life, and
on an uneven ocean bottom. The force
which brought them above the water
was not local, but continental This elevatng
force with periods OF intermission, continued to
the close of the Carboniferous epoch Conse-
quently, any local inclination of the strata is
most likely, due to the uneven bottom of the sea

A SERMON ABOUT THE BOOM.
Rev. Hunters Caution Against the Extrava-
gances Of Rush of Real Estate Trading.

Rev. r. V. Hunter, at the Seventh Presbyte-
rian Caurch. yesterday morning, spoke to the
timely topic, ''Our Boom" taking as his text:
HE that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be
innocent tunpunished) Proverbs xviii 20
Mr.. Hunter said thu gas fever was abnormaily
high; he would not prophesy disaster when hope
of better times is flush. but would lift voice
against undue haste. The time was here when
amen were specializing in real estate for miles
round False values were attached to every
thing, but the day of judgment came and this
city has been fifteen years paying the
penalty. Better times should not be OPP
posed. but citizens should not lose their business
sense. Someone will be left to suffer the shrink
age. Men ought to beware of extravagances
that attend such boom as now seems TO be
coming Let haste be made slowly. The text
declares men cannot make haste to be rich and
be innocent The punishment must come. He
that is willing to be satisfied with slower acqu-
sitions will have deeper satisfaction. and will be
assured of possessions not half SO liable to take
wings and fly away. Be willing to wait for
wealth gotten by principles long established, and
acknowledged to be right.
There is too much haste IN everything. The
time was when people read books and large
books. The time when the youth would sit
down with Hume's History of England and read
it through. The time was when member of the

chlsm. The Christian is now overwhelmed with
church services, prayer-meetings, Sabbath
schools, teachers meetings. missionary societies,
benevolent meetings and social parties and
calls. People making too great haste. The
same thing is true in educational
circles There many things
to be learned and the time is
short in which to learn them, that nothing is
thoroughly dieested. We live more in year
than ancestors did in a century. They
read the books which the fathers years in
writing; read the thoughts oe which
taken fast the tongue speak.
They read the news that was six months in
crossing the sea. We read the news that is
less than six seconds coming from another, con-
tinent. We become bewildered as attempt
to grasp the haste. the rush. the hurry
and the wonder of We would
not abridge these enlarged facilities,
but would against
allowing this spirit to govern them in their de-
sire for riches We may grow wealthy faster
than our fathers did but the underlying
principles of morality should govern Should
there be great boom in this city the work and
responsibility of the church will be increased.
There is already large unchristian element:
under the other circumstances there would be
larger. When there is more money there should
be more religion. as a thauk-offering to Almighty
